Default JDM f20c ECU, speedcut! needs to go

hey guys, its probably been coverd before... but speedcut does not come up in search

so thought it would be easier to post here...

just finished my ae86 + f20c.. usuing stock ecu + dash

just wondering if the old methods of getting rid of speedcut still work

ie: apexi vafc, apexi rsm, even the old school field vtec controller...

now this is a racecar... and with my 4.3 final drive, and smaller 15" wheels the 180kph speedcut is actualy coming in around 160ish... and if i have any chance at being competitive... speedcut must go!

any help

cheers

You can't, you need to pick up a US spec ECU or a UK ecu which has it's speed cut at 250kph I believe which is 155.35mph.

180kph = 111.85mph
160kph = 99.42mph

So the 160kph speed cut is correct. You can also change the gauge cluster to read mph by pushing the button.

I don't know, never had to use them. But the stuff you mentioned in your first post, the VAFC, Vtec controler and so forth will not work.

Why not just go with a standalone engine management system for some more power and more tuneability for your racing?
